The Internet can be a cold, dark and weird place. It can also be a blank canvas to create incredible things. I had a lot of fun with the latter.

I walk by this sign almost every day and it's usually empty and sad looking. There's a bench right in front of it begging to be a resting place to gaze at an engaging piece of art. And while I like the concept of this empty space being an accidental concept piece, it still feels empty. I always have the same thought of how cool it would be to put something in place of the empty void, but never knew exactly what it should be. So I asked the collective hive mind that is the Internet...and it was awesome.

I was blown away by the enthusiasm and response to this simple question. Once again, in the insane digital world of the Internet, there is room for creative input, conversation and play. And much like this sign, the digital landscape can be used as a tool to shift and break molds of thought in our day to day lives. All it takes is putting a question out there.
